Parish Register Missing
The church office is missing Book 1 of the Parish Register. This is the volume that contains the earliest records of the church and the beginning date is 1820. PLEASE check your closets; your memory, and with any members of the parish who no longer attend services regularly. It is extremely important that we make every effort to locate this book. It is not only needed to complete our paper records but we also receive many geneology requests. The last use of the original book was in 2008.

MASTER CALENDAR and MINISTRY PLANNING
Improving Parish Communication
We are rapidly becoming a dynamic faith community and our building is full of classes, ministries and activities that sometimes require creative coordination.
The essential ingredient of this coordination is an easily accessible and open communication chain - phone, email, text, print, media sites.
There is a Master Calendar in the office that is continually being updated as we learn of activities that you are planning. Mother Teri and Leslie strongly encourage you to make use of it as you plan your event. You can notify the office by phone or email - or come in to add/change your information. If you do this in a timely manner, other groups who use the building can be notified in ample time to work cooperatively to ensure that all events are well publicized and successful.

Saint Mary's Altar Guild
We are very grateful for all the wonderful flowers that have been donated to beautify the main church altar and St. Helen's Chapel altar. The Guild would like to make a friendly reminder that donations for oil in the sanctuary light are also most welcome. It's a nice way to remember loved ones by keeping a light burning for them.
